A77210	An appendix to my humble petition, lately presented to the most honourable courts of Parliament wherein I did but lightly touch upon the point of consecration: now because as I conceive, the Kings supremacy is therein denied, I humbly crave leave further to clear up this point.	Brabourne, Theophilus, b. 1590.	1661 (1661)	Wing B4088B; ESTC R211119	2,159	1

a_o appendix_n to_o my_o humble_a petition_n late_o present_v to_o the_o most_o honourable_a court_n of_o parliament_n wherein_o i_o do_v but_o light_o touch_v upon_o the_o point_n of_o consecration_n now_o because_o as_o i_o conceive_v the_o king_n supremacy_n be_v therein_o deny_v i_o humble_o crave_v leave_v further_o to_o clear_v up_o this_o point_n of_o a_o bishop_n consecration_n to_o his_o office_n the_o office_n of_o a_o bishop_n as_o i_o humble_o conceive_v be_v a_o mix_a office_n partly_o divine_a and_o partly_o humane_a or_o civil_a it_o be_v divine_a as_o concern_v the_o administration_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n it_o be_v humane_a as_o concern_v the_o use_n of_o their_o coercive_a power_n in_o the_o church_n for_o 1._o they_o receive_v authority_n to_o excercise_n a_o coercive_a power_n by_o commission_n from_o the_o king_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v humane_a 2._o it_o can_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v divine_a and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v humane_a 3._o i_o prove_v it_o be_v not_o divine_a because_o christ_n forbid_v his_o apostle_n and_o in_o they_o all_o the_o clergy_n to_o exercise_v authority_n mat._n 20.25_o 26._o and_o st._n peter_n forbid_v it_o say_v not_o as_o though_o you_o be_v lord_n over_o god_n heritage_n or_o people_n 1_o pet._n 5.3_o so_o that_o this_o jurisdiction_n authority_n and_o coercive_a power_n be_v not_o divine_a because_o christ_n forbid_v it_o 4_o coercive_a power_n in_o the_o church_n have_v be_v use_v by_o king_n prince_n and_o ruler_n ezra_n 10.8_o 1_o king_n 2.27_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o divine_a but_o humane_a a_o bishop_n be_v ordain_v a_o minister_n before_o he_o be_v consecrate_v and_o make_v a_o bishop_n and_o when_o he_o step_v above_o the_o ministry_n into_o the_o office_n of_o a_o bishop_n than_o de_n novo_fw-la he_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o office_n to_o rule_v and_o exercise_v authority_n and_o his_o coercive_a power_n over_o a_o whole_a diocese_n if_o then_o he_o preach_v and_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n which_o few_o of_o they_o do_v or_o do_v as_o other_o minister_n constant_o than_o he_o preach_v not_o as_o a_o bishop_n but_o as_o a_o minister_n and_o when_o he_o rule_v over_o a_o diocese_n he_o rule_v not_o as_o a_o minister_n but_o as_o a_o bishop_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o office_n of_o a_o bishop_n as_o he_o be_v a_o bishop_n i●_n only_o to_o rule_v and_o exercise_v a_o coercive_a power_n and_o this_o power_n be_v a_o humane_a or_o civil_a thing_n hence_o it_o follow_v that_o be_v this_o authority_n be_v humane_a it_o must_v be_v of_o and_o from_o the_o king_n and_o must_v be_v derive_v from_o the_o king_n who_o be_v supreme_a in_o authority_n in_o or_o over_o the_o church_n the_o king_n derive_v his_o authority_n and_o supremacy_n from_o christ_n 1_o pet._n 2.13_o but_o bishop_n like_o other_o magistrate_n must_v derive_v all_o their_o authority_n not_o from_o christ_n immediate_o but_o from_o the_o king_n wherefore_o if_o the_o king_n may_v have_v his_o right_n bishop_n must_v be_v consecrate_v only_o in_o the_o king_n name_n not_o in_o christ_n name_n for_o this_o be_v to_o derive_v from_o another_o and_o high_a power_n than_o the_o king_n and_o to_o make_v themselves_o next_o unto_o christ_n and_o equal_a to_o the_o king_n for_o the_o king_n only_o be_v next_o unto_o christ_n but_o bishop_n be_v now_o consecrate_v by_o authority_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n immediate_o and_o peter_n key_n not_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o king_n whereby_o they_o deny_v the_o king_n authority_n and_o supremacy_n in_o the_o church_n in_o their_o consecration_n as_o i_o conceive_v it_o i_o have_v former_o write_v in_o defence_n of_o the_o king_n prerogative_n and_o supremacy_n and_o here_o add_v this_o as_o be_v more_o full_a and_o more_o clear_a object_n 1._o but_o bishop_n may_v say_v we_o have_v authority_n from_o the_o king_n to_o exercise_v our_o coercive_a power_n and_o therefore_o we_o acknowledge_v the_o king_n authority_n and_o supremacy_n i_o answer_v 1._o by_o distinguish_v between_o a_o office_n and_o the_o exercise_n of_o that_o office_n if_o therefore_o you_o own_o the_o king_n supremacy_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o your_o office_n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o thereby_o you_o own_v it_o in_o your_o office_n and_o in_o your_o consecration_n to_o your_o office_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o you_o deny_v it_o in_o your_o consecration_n because_o you_o refuse_v to_o consecrate_v in_o the_o king_n name_n and_o do_v all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o another_o and_o high_a power_n 2._o your_o authority_n from_o the_o king_n to_o exercise_v your_o office_n do_v not_o imply_v the_o king_n supremacy_n thereby_o indeed_o you_o acknowledge_v the_o king_n authority_n but_o not_o his_o supremacy_n 3._o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v see_v you_o acknowledge_v neither_o the_o king_n supremacy_n nor_o his_o authority_n in_o your_o office_n nor_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o for_o in_o your_o court_n you_o issue_v out_o all_o citation_n process_n summons_n and_o excommunication_n not_o in_o the_o king_n name_n but_o in_o your_o own_o name_n 4._o suppose_v but_o not_o grant_v that_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o your_o office_n the_o king_n supremacy_n be_v by_o consequence_n imply_v why_o then_o do_v you_o not_o in_o express_a word_n do_v it_o also_o but_o refuse_v to_o do_v it_o in_o the_o consecration_n to_o your_o office_n for_o both_o the_o office_n and_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o be_v wrought_v to_o be_v from_o the_o same_o hand_n and_o power_n object_n 2._o again_o bishop_n may_v say_v we_o take_v the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n at_o our_o consecration_n and_o therefore_o we_o own_o the_o king_n supremacy_n i_o answ_v 1._o you_o take_v this_o oath_n indeed_o at_o your_o consecration_n but_o not_o in_o your_o consecration_n before_o it_o but_o not_o in_o it_o for_o about_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n before_o consecration_n this_o oath_n be_v take_v but_o in_o consecration_n it_o be_v not_o nor_o any_o word_n express_v or_o imply_v the_o king_n supremacy_n and_o yet_o all_o magistrate_n in_o the_o kingdom_n who_o exercise_n a_o coercive_a power_n do_v beside_o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n take_v also_o a_o commission_n in_o the_o king_n name_n as_o derive_v their_o authority_n from_o he_o and_o so_o shall_v bishop_n do_v in_o consecration_n 2._o bishop_n a_o little_a before_o consecration_n do_v swear_v that_o the_o king_n be_v supreme_a in_o authority_n but_o present_o after_o in_o their_o consecration_n they_o deny_v it_o for_o they_o refuse_v to_o name_v the_o king_n or_o own_o his_o supremacy_n for_o they_o be_v consecrate_a in_o the_o name_n of_o another_o and_o high_a power_n than_o the_o king_n as_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o as_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o peter_n key_n suppose_v a_o judge_n high_a sheriff_n or_o mayor_n of_o a_o city_n who_o after_o they_o have_v take_v the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n shall_v refuse_v to_o take_v also_o a_o commission_n for_o their_o office_n in_o the_o king_n name_n and_o will_v derive_v their_o authority_n from_o some_o other_o or_o high_a power_n as_o from_o the_o emperor_n of_o rome_n or_o germany_n will_v not_o this_o be_v a_o denial_n of_o the_o king_n authority_n and_o supremacy_n it_o will_v not_o excuse_v the_o matter_n to_o say_v we_o first_o take_v the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n and_o can_v the_o like_a excuse_n bishop_n from_o deny_v the_o king_n supremacy_n in_o their_o consecration_n my_o humble_a petition_n therefore_o be_v that_o if_o it_o may_v stand_v with_o your_o honour_n wisdom_n this_o consecration_n may_v be_v alter_v and_o change_v into_o a_o commission_n in_o the_o king_n name_n like_v as_o it_o be_v with_o all_o magistrate_n who_o exercise_n a_o coercive_a power_n under_o the_o king_n your_o honour_n humble_a and_o dutiful_a servant_n
